Check Point Harmony Browse Reviews

We find ourselves with the need to ensure the navigation of our users, providing safe navigation solutions protecting equipment and searches, mainly since, in many cases, users are people with little knowledge of security and are entering any type of web page where we can find malicious environments which can compromise the infrastructure and associated services.

We have a need to secure equipment and be able to have our users protected when they browse anywhere, especially when we have many of our users working from home.

In our search for solutions to protect users inside or outside the organization, and to provide security when browsing wherever they go, we came across this product. We wanted the protection that we previously had only in the perimeter area. At this point, we saw this solution provided great value to our organization as the security is integrated with the services of the Check Point cloud. This integration is so powerful that each request leads us to conduct a deep inspection of each one of the queries, being one of the best in the market and providing protection at all times. 

Among its most important features is the integration of its analytics. It allows us to be faster and predicts events that violate the security of the equipment. We can avoid zero-day events and intrusions. We can avoid malware and ransomware infections which are the most common. It gives us the possibility of protecting each of the activities. 

One of the new features I would like to see is the possibility that these tools can be brought to mobile devices such as tablets and cell phones in iOS or Android applications. 

I would like is to be able to take this solution and be able to take existing designs and integrate the product into all services since it's one of the most important solutions. 

We must be more proactive and integrate existing solutions into a single integrated package so that customers feel more secure. 

I've used the solution for one year.

In my experience, since the beginning of the pandemic, we have been adopting better security measures mainly due to the fact that we have more users who are working outside the perimeter of our organization. They are working from home or some other country or place more often now.

For this reason and to protect these users, most of whom are people who are not computer technicians and whose knowledge and experience in malicious or unsafe places is less, we have implemented Check Point Harmony Browse to help keep users safe.

One of the great advantages is being able to ensure that each of our users is protected from the best browsing solution. Many times we applied the antivirus and protected the equipment, however, we leave aside that these threats arrive many times through browsers. Harmony Browse gives us the protection before accessing an address or trying to download X content from a site. And it always notifies us, which contributes to the learning of the less experienced.

Being able to have a tool that analyzes and emulates any activity that may occur from a downloaded document is of great value. It analyzes and verifies in detail how secure or insecure a file, document, or object is that is being downloaded. It provides value. 

Another important feature that many can ignore is its large number of notifications. For less experienced users, these are helpful as they help teach and properly guide users.

It is one of the best solutions, however, with respect to its support in IOS and Android, it can improve a little more.

Something that is worth mentioning is the need for support in Spanish and better representation for teams in the Latin American area, where there is a growing demand for these IT services and new technologies.

Its guides are identical to the existing ones. These guides need to be updated and improved in terms of their design. 

We've used the solution for the last two years.

We did not previously use a different solution. 

Check Point is a very good brand. However, its cost is high> that said, it complies with what each of its products says it will do.

We did not previously evaluate other options. 

I'd advise users to test the solution. It will really help you to have more security for each of your users inside and outside your organization. 

The application is good as its lightweight and its functions are really similar to a browser extension. It offers real-time protection for internet users by addressing active concerns. Moreover, it incorporates a reputation feature to ensure swift access to websites within a second. The effectiveness of Harmony Browse’s capabilities is really an advantage. 

The installation process is simple. Once initiated, the process is quite straightforward and seamless, making it easy to complete.    

Regarding the Harmony Browse, I call it "Kuna" which is accurate. The quantum product serves as my primary focus due to its project cost, and I aim to introduce support in this area. This is because firewall implementation holds significant importance for organizations. I want to improve more on the quantum losses.

There's a concept I'd like to include in Harmony Browse, known as automatic catching. This mechanism comes into play when an individual closes their browser while possessing sensitive information, like monetary data. To counteract potential risks, we employ a browser cache-clearing process to minimize the cache's accumulation. This action ensures that malicious entities can't exploit the cached data for attacks. To enhance this further, there's potential for the implementation of a self-cleaning technology. For instance, when a user exits the browser, an automatic action could be initiated to clear the browser cache, serving as an additional layer of security. This can be helpful if added.

I am using Check Point Harmony Browse for the past one year.

I didn’t have any issues with stability.

The scalability is good. I would rate it 10 out of 10. 

The support is not very helpful and the response takes very long.

Neutral

I believe this product has very limited competition. This is primarily due to deliberately leaving out competitors for Dela. As of now, it appears that only one vendor offers this product.

The setup is very straightforward. 

The price is not very expensive for our organisation, but for others, it might be a little expensive.

I would rate the overall product an eight out of ten. 

We provide services to clients that have to do with their websites. For a company like ours, we needed a product that could safeguard our workstations.  

We need to provide our customers with a safe and secure environment to win their business, and choosing Check Point Harmony Browse was and still is the best decision we've made. 

It gives our customers a sense of security they might not have found anywhere else. 

Since our move to Check Point Harmony, our client relationship has improved dramatically.

Since our move to Check Point Harmony, our client relationship has improved by quite a bit. Our trust rating has gone up immensely, and we couldn't even fathom the level of change we experienced until one of our clients mentioned it. 

We were hesitant to make this change in the beginning. However, we all have finally agreed to finalize the switch, and we have not looked back. 

The support was also very different from what we were used to; they go above and beyond to make sure that our concerns are fixed in no time.

Their support is top-notch, and their technology is cutting-edge. We had a little problem when it came to deployment. However, their support has helped us throughout the entire process. They also educated us and answered all our questions, even though some of them may have sounded ignorant. We appreciate a great support team, which has been a great factor in deciding to stay with them and renew our product. They're easy to reach out to and will not stop until all our issues are resolved. 

They can maybe improve the deployment strategy.

Having local support everywhere in the world would be helpful. 

Our deployment has taken a while to complete as there were some issues with the OS we were using. This was handled by their support team with great success; however, it would have been best if it was completed in the time frame that was originally discussed. We're still very happy with the overall support that we are getting, and that's really all we can ask for.

I've used the solution for over a year.

We are a certification company, and clients send us details about their websites that we need to download from time to time. Having Harmony ensures that we don’t get attacked and our client's information gets protected. 

In order for us to provide certifications, we must also ensure that our services are protected to the highest level. So far, Harmony has been able to provide the level of protection that we require as a company. It not only eases our minds but also helps us sleep peacefully at night.

It builds trust from our clients as they’re sure that their information is safe and fully protected.

Building trust is the foundation of our company, so it is vital for us to use services that are up to our standards and are on our level. We provide our clients top-notch services and it is only sensible that we provide top-notch solutions/protection as well. 

It is necessary to be on top and remain on top by providing what’s only the best and nothing less.    

The downloaded protection as it scans and emulates the files on a browser level is great. It also blocks zero-day phishing sites so our clients and employees are safe from having their sign-ins used elsewhere and the fact it detects and prevents the use of log-in passwords on a different website to ensure that we are fully protected. 

It is a big deal for us, as there are thousands and thousands of data points that can be hacked from our credentials alone. Preventing the use of the same password somewhere else is huge protection already.

URL filtering could be better. It would be great if you can have object-based categories on the management dashboard. 

It would be best for it to be object-based instead of URL-based as it saves us a lot of time. 

Clicking the object/subject from the dashboard shortens the handling time as compared to using a URL. 

There are many questionable sites that we can’t keep track of, and it would be easier to just have them in a visible list than to find them. I’d say both URL, and object-based filtering needs to be available.

I've used the solution for less than a year.

Technical support has addressed all of our questions.

Positive

We used something from ESET. We switched to Harmony as it offers more and is more “bang for the buck.”

It was pretty straightforward to set up, and the vendor helped all the way.

We handled the setup in-house.

We can’t be sure of ROI as of yet as it’s still pretty new.

We had been considering Harmony for a while and had been waiting for our contact to end to switch. We may have considered others prior. However, we had been set on getting this.

We use the solution for firewall protection and private dev browsing.

The edge filtering and protection are at the border.

Accuracy is probably one of the top requirements or features. It lowers the incidence of malware or malicious software. It's easy to navigate and relatively intuitive.

Pricing could be better.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Browse for five years.

The initial setup does not take a long time.

I rate the initial setup as four out of five.

It has moderate pricing.

Maintenance is relatively easy.  I was able to resolve challenges with the online knowledge base.

It is a product worth of consideration and implementation.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
